John Fonoti's family were not harmed by the tsunami!

HA Note: "Fonoti said he was relieved to learn that his mother and brother were not harmed during the American Samoa disaster last week. He said his brother often drives on the road that was struck by the tsunami. But his brother had completed his delivery earlier in the day, and was "far away when the tsunami hit." Fonoti said he was not able to reach his mother or brother before Wednesday's game."

About how his concern over his mother and brother made it hard to focus on the Louisiana tech game, Fonoti said:
"It was hard planning and thinking (during the game). It was very emotional. It was a big relief to find out they were safe." (HA)
